firmware-acquisition

90 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

By BitterSecurity/Decepticon (GitHub) · coding · 6,581 stars · scanned at commit bdb1016

Systematic firmware extraction from IoT and embedded targets — vendor portals, OTA interception, SPI flash dumping with flashrom/CH341A, eMMC chip-off, and UART/JTAG console dumps. Covers the full acquisition chain from zero hardware access to a raw binary ready for static analysis.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'firmware-acquisition' ~/.claude/skills/'firmware-acquisition' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
